They Clapped for Death at CPAC
When you grow up in a particularly conservative part of the country at a particularly conservative time in history, as I did, an idea gets drummed into your impressionable little head: that the Republican Party is “the party of personal responsibility.” Ronald Reagan, in a quote you’d see and hear an awful lot, said, “It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.” It’s preposterous, of course, the idea that accountability lives at a specific point on the left-right continuum, the notion that anyone anywhere has ever said, “I don’t believe that each individual is responsible for his actions.” But conservative people loved Ronald Reagan, and everyone loves quotes that flatter them, and so by simple repetition, it became an accepted truth. Republicans are responsible people, and everyone else, on some level, is just fucking around.
On a completely unrelated note, this past weekend at the Conservative Political Action Conference, a crowd cheered for a deadly respiratory illness.

Yep. Alex Berenson is up there crowing about how the Biden administration has missed its goal of getting 90 percent of Americans vaccinated against COVID-19, the virus that brought our world to a standstill from which we are just now starting to come out, the virus that has killed over 4 million people, including 606,000 Americans, and counting. Berenson did not take the responsibility to check his numbers—Biden’s goal was 70 percent with at least one dose by July 4, and we’re now at roughly 56 percent—but the result is that the audience, upon hearing that a goal of President Biden’s has not been met, simply erupts into enthusiastic applause. This roomful of adult human beings puts its hands together for more death.
Jesus H. Christ. Put any other common-sense measure in place of vaccination. Pretend this guy is up there boasting about how many more people are disregarding drunk-driving laws these days, and think about what that applause would mean. Celebrating low vaccination rates is actually worse, more selfish and less responsible; drunk drivers kill people, but they don't spread their high BAC level to the other drivers on the road and send them off to kill more people.
